A misogynist is a person — nearly always a man — who hates women, or who thinks women are worth less than men and treats them that way. It is a strong word and a serious accusation.

A misogynist厭女者 is a person是一個人——nearly always a man幾乎都是男性——who hates women痛恨女性 or who thinks women are worth less than men或是認為女性的價值比男性低 and treats them that way也真的這樣對待她們 It is這是 a strong word一個很重的詞 and a serious accusation也是一項嚴重的指控

In real use it covers more than pure hatred: people call a man a misogynist when he keeps talking over women, only hires men, says women are too emotional to lead. Nobody has to feel burning hate to earn the name; the pattern of contempt is enough.

In real use在實際的使用上 it covers more than pure hatred它涵蓋的不只是單純的痛恨：when he keeps talking over women當他一直打斷女性說話 only hires men只雇用男性 says women are too emotional to lead說女性太情緒化不能領導 people call a man a misogynist人們就會叫他厭女者 Nobody has to feel burning hate不必真的感到熊熊怒火 to earn the name才會被這樣稱呼；the pattern of contempt有輕視的模式 is enough就夠了

The word also works as an adjective — 'misogynist jokes', 'a misogynist website' — though many writers prefer misogynistic for that job, and both are correct.

The word also works as an adjective這個詞也可以當形容詞用——'misogynist jokes'「厭女笑話」 'a misogynist website'「厭女網站」——though many writers prefer misogynistic for that job雖然很多作者做這件事比較喜歡用 misogynistic 這個字 and both are correct但兩種說法都對

You hear it most in the news, in arguments about politics and the internet, and in university writing. It is formal in shape but sharp in use, and calling someone this in public is a real charge, not a light insult.

in the news在新聞裡 in arguments about politics and the internet政治和網路的爭論裡 and in university writing還有大學的寫作裡 You hear it most你最常聽到這個詞 It is formal in shape它的用字正式 but sharp in use用起來卻很尖銳，calling someone this in public公開這樣稱呼一個人 is a real charge是真正的指控 not a light insult不是輕描淡寫的侮辱
